acquire the ability to converse with
ease and fluency. This implies, first

A good voice is as essential to self.
possession as good ideas are essential
to fluent language. The voice from

and developed full, clear, flexible

at everything, will not only render
himself disagreeable to others, but
will soon cease to find pleasure in
